I thought Mulroney's government was incredibly corrupt but, damn, their corruption was child's play compared to the "Harper government". It used to be 'government of Canada' but Canada no longer counts, only harper does.

I will be voting strategically in October. Whichever candidate, Liberal or NDP, looks more likely to take the seat from the Cons, they have my vote.

I normally vote Liberal but will vote strategically most of the time to try not to split the vote and let harper win while 60% of voters voted anyone but him.

One very good sign is the massive upset here in Alberta, the shock of it has reverberated across Canada with the result the NDP is being given greater consideration as capable of governing beyond the provincial level, VERY bad news for harper, not so good news for the Liberals either.
